Earthdog, you're right, it is cheaper to build your own - but only if you have some idea of what your doing! My first attempt was not trouble-free, took me a month to get the thing working! I saved a lot of cash (the whole kit & caboodle cost me around £500 for a PC that would have cost me £1500 to buy) but ended up with a month of tinkering and a headache, after which I was left with a feeling of smug satisfaction, so it wasn't all bad! I'm no techie genius, but I am a very practical 'hands on' person.
